Local Insurance Institutes

The Insurance Charities relies heavily on Local Institutes both to publicise our work and provide vital financial support. Local representatives may personally carry out both the visiting and publicity tasks or divide the role between two or more people, particularly where a large institute area is involved. The President has an opportunity, during his year of office, to support the local representative in his work and to publicise the Charities at institute meetings and other functions.

We recognise that often local institutes will want to fund-raise for a second charity alongside The Insurance Charities. Fund-raising for a well known or possibly a local charity as well as The Insurance Charities can reach a wider audience than might otherwise be the case. Institutes can use the stories on this website to illustrate how The Insurance Charities provide help in a wide range of distressing circumstances. Each year at the CII's Annual Conference the Centenary Charity Shield is presented to the institute which is considered to have made the most noteworthy fund-raising effort over the year. Each institute is also listed in our table of donations.

We can help institutes in their fund-raising and publicity activities by:
